Micah Parsons (now with the Green Bay Packers after being traded from Dallas) is recovering from a torn left ACL suffered on December 14, 2025, plus a meniscus procedure. Here's the timeline:
- PUP list to start 2026: He'll begin the season on the PUP list, which guarantees he misses at least the first four games.
- Target return: Mid-October is the target, with Week 5 against the Bears being the optimistic earliest return date — though he could need more time and may be limited even when activated.
- Nine-month recovery: As of early June 2026, he had about four months left on that timeline, putting the soonest possible return around late September/Week 4.
Bottom line: expect Parsons back sometime in October, but don't count on him for the first month of the season (from the Micah Parsons page).
